Caketoppers

I have proposed that Vicky and I use knight lego cake toppers. What do you reckon? This is just about all that I have contributed to the wedding planning so far. I am such a prince!

(Knightly prince, as you can clearly see above; not )

I know that using Legoes as cake-toppers is a bit old hat nowadays, everybody and their kids at least having thought about it already, but I have gone the extra inch and personalised it a little.

In case you are unaware, I blimmin' went mental for knight lego when I was a young chap in short pants.  About the only other thing that ever consumed my youthful mania as much was Marvin the Martian but I doubt that there was ever a lady Martian. Bugs probably dressed up as one in an episode at some point -- that was his schtick -- but I'm not having that on my wedding cake. I've nothing against cross-dressing communities or even intergalactic inter-species homoeroticism; it's just that neither is really representative of me. 

So, that's why there's a knight for me and a princess for Victoria. The image above contains my only princess piece from my grand lego collection. We might have to get a new one, or at least a new head. The one above doesn't really look like my actual princess (she is brown-haired, though the lips, hips and pointy hat are uncanny in their resemblances) but I have posted it to give you the general idea until a better one can be found. The knight is, of course, my splitting image. We could almost pass as twins, except for the height difference. I'm taller than that. And I'm taller than Vicky too, pointy hat notwithstanding.

Postscript: Between scratching out the above and typing it into the internet, I also thought that we could use some old trolls as cake toppers. You know the ones: with the awful hair. Vicky and I discovered that we both quite liked those when young and unaware of each other's existence. It's kind of fitting because it turns out we grew up near each other and may well have gazed at the same collection in the same shop in our neighbourhood. I'm not 100% sure, however. They will also be a bit ugly. On the plus side, I will get to sing about being a troll man.
